That's way we read in 1 Corinthians 15, "moreover brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." and that just means unless you just flippantly say, "oh yeah I believe." There have been many people have a preacher come to their door... knock on their door, "Uh, say this sinner's prayer." "Ok, blah, blah, blah." They don't mean it.
Listen folks, you know your heart, I don't, you know your mind, I don't, and no one else does, but if you have not been serious with God, and really believed the gospel, your are on your way to hell.
You have purposefully put a wall of separation between you and God. Because you have not taken this seriously. But if you will take it seriously, and really search your heart and say, "I believe, I believe this gospel."
What is the gospel? Read verses three and four with me, here it is: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" That's it. If you seriously before God, believe that he died for your sins, and paid the full price, he rose from the dead and conquered sin and death, and by that alone you have eternal life, the Bible says you are saved. But if not, then not. That's how simple it is.
You know religion stinks, because religion muddies the waters. Religion makes you think that church membership or having a title or something like that's going to help you, in dealing with your sin, let me tell you something, you sinned against God, not the religious people, not the institutions who are giving you all these false promises. You sinned against God and what He said matters, and if you sinned against God, he is infinite, your sin requires an infinite payment, that's why you can't work for it, you can work your entire life and do the best you can. and it's still finite. You can never do enough works to pay for the cost of sin and Jesus died on the cross, for an infinite payment, for your sin, and that's why he is your only hope.
